SAG Awards host Megan Mullally says there will be zero political humor at the 2019 event

Meghan Mullally says she's going to do zero political humor at the SAG Awards.

“Will & Grace” actress Megan Mullally will host 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards this Sunday, throwing her hat into the ring of famed comedians who have graced the show before her. However, unlike other hosts of recent memory, she plans to stay completely away from political humor.

“I don’t think I have an inordinate amount of screen time. I’m not on stage for 20 minutes telling a series of amazing political jokes,” the 60-year-old actress told Variety “That’s not going to happen. It’s not going to be political. It’s going to be about actors and celebrating talent.”

“I do think it’s really cool that they asked me to host because [hosts are] not always women. It’s not always women my age. I don’t have 19 million followers on social media. I have so many great memories of the SAG Awards. It’s just a fun one to go to,” she said.

Mullaley also commented on the ongoing hosting controversy surrounding this year’s Oscars. After a series of old tweets that critics called homophobic surfaced, comedian Kevin Hart stepped down as host of the event after he refused to apologize for comments he claimed he already apologized and atoned for. Now, with Hart flip-flopping back-and-forth about whether or not he’ll return as host, rumors are circulating that the show will go hostless.
